Awesome pics and welcome to R2R!!!

well, the specifics are never the same pic to pic or tank to tank, but I always shoot manual and adjust things as necessary. I still haven't gotten off my *** and gotten a water proof gray card yet for setting the most accurate custom WB, but I use a white piece of paper taped to the tank i'm shooting for setting WB, then further adjust with the WB adjustment bracket to get it precise. I typically don't use flash, only one of the photos I posted that I used flash with was the with the white Spider Sponge polyps.. I've experimented with using flash, but i've just never gotten comfortable with the color representation when doing so. The most successful i've been with flash is using the lowest flash brightness I can, a flash diffuser, and a very long shutter to help with the starkness.

Love the pictures of your tank and the store tanks! I visited the shop last summer and I thought it was clean and you guys had a good selection of livestock.
